This is a great idea for a thread. I haven't yet found a contemporary free title that I could recommend (although I'm sure they are out there somewhere), but I do read a lot of what might be considered "vintage" fiction, and often you can find real gems for free. I'm a big fan of B.M. Bower. She was a woman writer who wrote prolific western adventure fiction at a time when women simply didn't do that (hence the use of her initials--her name was Bertha Muzzy Bower). I really enjoy her stuff, in fact I collect her books at home (the physical, vintage books). There are a ton of her books available in ebook format in various versions for free, and some that are better formatted that you can purchase for much less than most newer titles. I much prefer Bower to Louis L'Amour. If you can't abide westerns you probably won't like them, but if you are into vintage western fiction, definitely give her a try.

a great if slightly twisted story. There is a definite evil golden girls moment where 'seniors' talk about how they joke about mowing down a bunch of people in their car and joking about it.... that they'll act all 'confused' and having a 'senior moment'.

Its a great story... a light and fun read (don't expect depth) but very fun.,,, about 700ish pages on the standard settings.

For those recommending, when you are posting a book, please use the 'add product' feature on the posting toolbar to put a pic & link to your book.

I enjoyed "The Unsuspecting Mage" by Brian Pratt. Though I'm a bit frustrated by the fact that book 2 in the series isn't available in e-book format. B&N has all the other books in the series (there are several) but not book 2 seems odd.

For those of you that do a lot of reading, how about recommending your favorite free ebook. Could be a classic from google, but I would prefer something contemporary.

Last night I started reading some stories from Thoughtcrime Experiments. A sci-fi/fantasy anthology independently produced and self-financed released under a Creative Commons license. In the Appendix they even describe the process of doing the anthology to inspire others to do the same (it's inspired me to think about putting something together).
